Narcan Opiate Overdose Training

Thursday, March 1, 2018 - 6:30pm

Would you know what to do if someone overdosed? The Field Library and The Health Department offer FREE life-saving Naloxone (Narcan) training for residents. When administered correctly, the nasal spray Narcan restores breathing that has been dangerously slowed by an overdose of heroin or prescription painkillers. Narcan works within a minute or two and gives emergency responders time to get the person to a hospital. Residents who participate in the free trainings learn how to administer Narcan, and are given a free Narcan kit. Residents 18 years of age or older who want to be trained to administer Naloxone (Narcan) should register online for the training dates listed below. Register early as space is limited.
